RETURN OF TROOPS.
PROGRESS OF DEMOBILISATION
(PKKSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) PALMERSTON N.. January 31. Sir James Allen, speaking at a function at the Soldiers' Club here to-night, said the Maroma, which arrived a few days ago, liqd made her last trip as a hospital ship. The Maheno, which was nearing England, would bring the remaining cot cases, and the seriously ill men. These two hospital ships would then have completed their great work of mercy.
The first draft of fit and well men were leaving for New Zealand probably on Friday or Saturday. At the time of the signing of the German armistice, the New Zealand Division was tho only division at the front which was up to its full strength. There was not an English, French, German, or any other division which had not been reduced.
IHe admitted that the repatriation scheme was not perfect, and Be appealed to the people to give every help possible to restore soldiers to their normal avocations.
